"Pfft!"
With a soft sound, Qin Yu's fingers pierced through Du Zhongjun's chest without any resistance. Then, he casually flicked his hand, as if throwing away a rag, and tossed the dead Du Zhongjun aside.
"Give me your life!"
With a single step, he covered a distance of over a thousand miles, catching up with Hua Yan's figure and throwing a punch directly at her.
"Bang!"
The fist roared, unleashing a sharp burst of golden magical power that instantly struck Hua Yan.
In the blink of an eye, all three envoys from the upper realm collapsed to the ground, their fates unknown.

Chapter 9 Sudden Change
The realm of gods, Featherfall City.
In the courtyard of the inn where he rented a room, Xiao Ning sat cross-legged, his entire mind immersed in seclusion, striving to gather the Three Flowers at the top and condense the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit.
Just then, Xiao Ning noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed, and at the same time, a long laugh rang out.
"Haha! Greetings, fellow Daoist from afar! Hongmeng greets you!"
Suddenly faced with this change, Xiao Ning glanced around at his surroundings and saw a piece of land, several tens of feet in diameter, floating in the center of the endless chaos.
On this land, there is a thatched hut. In front of the hut grows a thick, low osmanthus tree. Under the osmanthus tree is a stone table and two or three stone benches.
A middle-aged man dressed in a simple linen long gown, with his long hair casually draped over his shoulders, rose from the stone bench with a smile on his face.
Another tall, imposing young man sat on a stone bench, looking at him with a smile.
With the surrounding scenery spread out before him, Xiao Ning immediately realized that he had arrived in the primordial chaos space beyond the universe.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Well, he had sneaked into someone's house and been caught red-handed.
"Xiao Ning, an outsider, greets you two fellow Daoists!"
Instantly, Xiao Ning suppressed his surprise, deciding to accept his fate and bowing to the two of them with clasped hands.
"Lin Meng greets fellow Daoist!"
The young man stood up, smiled slightly, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Ning.
At this moment, Hongmeng called out, "Come, sit down!"
"Yes, I shall obey!"
Xiao Ning did as he was told, and the three of them sat down around the stone table.
His eyes opened and closed, his thoughts turning. Although Hongmeng and Linmeng in front of him gave him an irresistible sense of danger, they were not unfathomable. Overall, although they were powerful and terrifying, he could still sense them.
This made Xiao Ning breathe a sigh of relief. Clearly, although the two people in front of him were powerful, they were not at the Great Luo realm as he had imagined.
Although they had transcended the realm of immortal golden immortals, they lacked the aura of unifying all heavens and transcending fate.
It seems that he was able to transcend the realm only by relying on the Hongmeng Golden List, and can only be considered to be in the pseudo-Daluo realm.
"Xiao Ning has come uninvited; please forgive me, esteemed masters!"
Xiao Ning bowed respectfully to Lin Meng and the other person, and apologized.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My brother and I are overjoyed by your arrival, and we would never dare to blame you!"
Lin Meng waved his hand, remaining calm and unmoved by Xiao Ning's words, and said, "My elder brother and I love discussing philosophy with others. We were quite pleased to learn of your arrival from me."
Hongmeng smiled and said, "That's right, finally someone can discuss the Dao with me again, I am very happy."
They were sincere in their words. Unlike the others, they were more interested in Xiao Ning's arrival than in where he came from or what his purpose was.
They weren't afraid that Xiao Ning could cause any trouble in this world; in fact, in some ways, they were even hoping he would do something.
Hongmeng nodded without saying a word.
Lin Meng chuckled softly, his gaze towards Xiao Ning filled with a hint of inquiry, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, where do you come from, and what is your purpose in entering this realm?"
At this moment, Hongmeng, who had been silent, also looked at Xiao Ning with curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Xiao Ning remained silent; he truly didn't know how to answer this question.
If it were someone else, they could easily find an excuse to get away with it, such as: "I came from the Chaos Sea, and seeing the strangeness of this world, I came uninvited. Please don't be offended, host."
Lin Meng is the controller of Hongmeng, so how could he be so easily fooled? Trying to fool Lin Meng the way you fooled Qin Yu is definitely not going to work.
Xiao Ning thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "To be honest, I was kicked out. When I came to my senses, I found myself in the world of you two! But I don't know how you two discovered me?"
Despite already having a guess in mind, Xiao Ning was still curious and asked to see if his guess was correct.
Upon hearing this, Lin Meng smiled slightly and said, "This universe is one that I created. I am fully aware of every movement in it, so naturally I can detect your presence!"
"Fellow Daoist, although your methods are superb, you have inevitably left some clues when you arrived here. Your whereabouts are shown on the Hongmeng Golden List."
He was also somewhat surprised.
To him, the many universes were like lines on the palm of his hand. When Xiao Ning was reincarnated here, he was only at the Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the Primordial Golden List, he would hardly have been able to discover this universe.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist."
